Of course, this twist of fate cannot be told to Tiger Eagle.
This is her secret; she can't tell anyone.
With her hands behind her back, Qiqi said with an air of otherworldly wisdom, "I've seen a lot more, but... I can't tell you!"
She drew out her words, keeping Tiger Eagle on the edge of his seat, then left him in suspense, making him so angry his face turned green.
"I think you didn't see anything at all, you're just pretending here."
He originally wanted to use reverse psychology, but Qiqi didn't fall for it at all.
"Whatever, whatever you say."
Tiger Eagle: ...
I really want to eat this brat up in one bite, she's so infuriating.
How can a three-year-old girl be so infuriating?
Tiger Eagle turned to look at Huo Yuwei, hoping to get some sympathy from him, "She must get beaten a lot at home, right?"
Huo Yuwei said, "Our Qiqi is very well-behaved. She never gets hit. She's our family's precious little darling!"
"Her? Very well-behaved? Are you blind?"
The three rhetorical questions, each more forceful than the last, revealed the extent of Tiger Eagle's shock.
Huo Yuwei said, "Our Qiqi is very well-behaved. She only uses her sharp tongue on people who are meant to be sharp-tongued."
Tiger Eagle: ...
The implication is that he deserved it!
He really will thank me!
Forget it, there's no point in arguing with this kind of sister-obsessed person.
Seeing that the little girl had finished eating, Tiger Eagle simply asked, "Now that you're full, do you have the strength to help me break the formation?"
"Okay!" Qiqi didn't want to waste any more time here. She wanted to go back as soon as possible to help her brother Xiao Jiu clear the demonic energy from his body.
She circled the cave, still thinking about how to break the formation more easily, when Huo Yuwei walked up to her and closed his eyes.
"I'm ready."
Qiqi: ? ? ?
"Aren't we supposed to choose something?"
It turns out that the older brother was still thinking about the process of breaking the Xuanyuan Sword formation.
Qiqi thinks the older brother who willingly contributes his luck points with his eyes closed is kind of cute.
"No need to choose this one, big brother, I remember this formation." Qiqi laughed. This was so unlike her big brother's cold and aloof personality.
"I see..."
Huo Yuwei opened his eyes, still a little disappointed.
"However, I still need your help, big brother," Qiqi said again.
Huo Yuwei's eyes immediately lit up. "What can I help you with?"
"Take the Xuanyuan Sword and stand here," Qiqi instructed him. "When I tell you to chop it in a moment, just chop it down with all your might."
"Okay!" Huo Yuwei grabbed the Xuanyuan Sword that was floating beside him and stood in the position designated by Qiqi.
Qiqi then moved to another location and began to break the formation.
The little girl's expression turned serious in an instant. She made a hand seal, and the spiritual energy overflowing around her formed a stream of air. Her skirt moved without wind, and the bells wrapped around her little bun jingled.
She quickly changed her hand gestures, sending out streams of spiritual energy that formed a net in the air.
After unleashing a full forty-nine bursts of spiritual energy, Qiqi quickly took out a talisman from her bag and threw it towards Huo Yuwei.
"Big brother, chop!"
Huo Yuwei immediately raised the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed down fiercely.
The sword emitted a bright light and slashed fiercely at the talisman.
boom!
A deafening roar shook the entire cave.
"break!"
The little girl let out a soft shout and raised her hand to unleash her last burst of spiritual power.
Bang!
Something exploded out of nowhere. Tiger Eagle felt as if a certain restraint that had been pressing down on him had suddenly been released. He felt a lightness in his body, and an indescribable sense of comfort spread throughout his entire being.
The cave was still shaking, and loose rocks were falling down with a crackling sound.
"Qiqi, are you done?"
While dodging the rubble, Huo Yuwei kept an eye on the little girl's situation.
"Alright, big brother, let's get out of here quickly, this cave is about to collapse!"
This cave was also part of the trapping of the tiger eagle. Now that the formation has been dispelled, the cave will naturally collapse.
Upon hearing that the cave was about to collapse, he rushed over, grabbed the little girl, and ran out.
Qiqi was nestled under his armpit, her little head bobbing up and down with his running movements, which was quite comical.
Seeing that Tiger Eagle was still standing there, seemingly unsure of what to do, she couldn't help but shout, "Why aren't you running? Didn't you want to see the outside world? If you don't run, you'll be buried alive. How will you see it then?"
Tiger Eagle seemed to realize what was happening and quickly gave chase.
When he reached the cave entrance, he paused subconsciously, tentatively sticking out one foot. He found that he had successfully passed through the cave entrance without any hindrance, and his eyes immediately lit up with ecstasy.
"I'm out, I'm really out."
He ran around in the woods outside the cave like a playful cat.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The cave collapsed completely.
Gravel flew everywhere, and dust billowed.
Huo Yuwei stood in front of Qiqi to prevent the little girl from being hurt by the falling stones.
When everything had settled down, Huo Yuwei looked at the ruins before him, his expression somewhat dazed, yet filled with an indescribable sense of loss.
He felt a strange sensation, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe it.
"Big brother, let's go." Qiqi reached out and took Huo Yuwei's hand, shaking it gently.
Huo Yuwei: "Ah? Oh, okay!"
Is that... the end?
He had prepared for a long battle, but the process of retrieving the sword was much easier than he had imagined.
It didn't even take a whole night, and Grandma prepared so much food for Qiqi.
No wonder the little girl was willing to feed the tiger eagle.
I'm afraid part of the reason is that I want him to help clear out my inventory.
The tiger eagle was still darting around in the forest, making shrieking noises like a madman.
Huo Yuwei didn't really want to pay attention, but remembering that the little girl had said she would take him home and would need his help later, he still asked, "Shouldn't we just leave him alone?"
“No need,” Qiqi shook her head, “Let’s go to the exit and wait. He’ll come to find us in a little while.”
"OK."
Huo Yuwei led Qiqi back the way they came. As they walked, the little girl would occasionally squat down to pluck a blade of grass or pick a flower.
Huo Yuwei guessed that those were probably herbs.
As I walked, a tree appeared ahead.
The tree was laden with bright red fruit.
The fruits weren't large, but their bright, translucent colors were very tempting.
A rich fruity aroma filled the air.
Huo Yuwei suddenly felt thirsty.
He had water in his backpack, but due to their survival instincts, they wouldn't touch the water unless absolutely necessary.
So Huo Yuwei observed the area and, after confirming that there was no danger around the tree, said to Qiqi, "Qiqi, would you like to eat some fruit?"
"Big brother, do you want to pick that kind of fruit?"
"Hmm." Huo Yuwei nodded, but just to be on the safe side, he asked one more question, "Is that kind of fruit edible?"
